Apple has declared the mid-2012 13-inch MacBook Pro, the last model to include an optical drive, as obsolete, meaning it will no longer receive support. This marks the end of an era for MacBook Pro models with optical drives, as Apple stopped selling this version in 2016. The exclusion of optical drives in subsequent models reflects the declining relevance of physical media, with many Windows laptops also omitting them. Apple still sells an external optical drive, but it hasn't been updated and requires an adapter for modern Macs, highlighting the shift away from optical drives in today's technology landscape.
